*This is a river cabin, as such expect there to be mosquitos in warm weather and the occasional bug/spider.

*The cabin is also supplied by well water. Being in the river basin, our water has significant mineral and iron deposits. Thus, there can be some discoloration and occasional sulfur odor. We do not recommend drinking it as it may not be palatable to some.
